Making multiple changes simultaneously

eceg · ‎06-17-2019

Is it possible to make multiple changes simultaneously? Every single time anything is moved, added, or deleted, the entire site has to refresh. Every so often I have to delete a bunch of content from a page to make room for new content, and it takes forever to do this. I have to remove about 60 items at a time, and each time I press the X, the site has to refresh and rearrange. Why can't I just select all 60, be prompted with a confirmation, and delete them all?

Hi @eceg It looks like a lot of your sites are using the older themes and editor. Unfortunately, there is not a way to bulk delete elements on your pages. I can verify this if you provide the name of the site you are trying to edit. Thanks!

Hi Bernadette,

The URL for the page is http://www.eastcoasteventgroup.co/client-videos.html. Is there a way to update to the newer editor without redoing the site?

Hi again. Yes, sort of.. You can click Theme>Change Theme and then preview any of the themes listed. You will notice all of you main body content will remain, but you will need to redo your header sections. It looks like most pages would just require the background image to be uploaded. Since all of this content is coming from the older theme it will all be lumped into one section per page. It's going to take some work, but it's definitely possible to organize the content into sections so that in the future you will be able to quickly manage the pages. I made a copy of your site (rename COPY) so that you can practice updating the theme and testing out the section feature to see if it will work out for you. You've quite a few pages on this site, but the copy should be ready to test in about 10 min or so.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you, I will play around with that.

Also, a bit unrelated, but still about the partiucular page that I linked. I noticed that it can sometimes take a bit of time to load, even for me, and I have hardwired Gigabit internet. On an average WiFi network, it can sometimes take unbearably long. Now, I know there are 62 embedded videos on that page. We keep clients' recap videos on that page, then remove them after 6 months to help with load times. They are given a permalink to the hosting site, so they still have access.

Is there a way to improve the load times for that page without simply removing videos? We'd like the clients videos to remain for up to 6 months for SEO and convenience reasons, but are also trying to help the page load faster, especially for mobile users.

There's really nothing more that can be done, although, it might be worth checking into the third party that provides the code since the content is loaded from their servers. Is it possible to break the videos up into separate pages? The less content to load, the faster the loading speed.
